Through additive labels and audio entries, guests can experience self-guided and guided tours highlighting objects and stories in our permanent galleries. Each area in our permanent exhibitions will have a special icon that indicates it’s part of the 250th anniversary tour. Examples include a rare rifle that belonged to George Washington, a Brown Bess rifle, Revolutionary era historic miniature soldiers, an R.C. Anderson portrait in The Commonwealth, Thomas Jefferson in The Lewis & Clark Experience, Revolutionary War veterans’ stories in 120: Cool KY Counties, and a sword that belonged to Josiah Bartlett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
